The answer is E, C, B. Pseudopolyps consist of surviving hyperplastic mucosa and granulation tissue.

Diverticulosis (D) is the presence of diverticulums which are not inflamed; in diverticulitis the diverticulums become inflamed and may rupture to produce pericolic abscesses. The symptoms are similar to those in appendicitis (A) but affect the left side.

The appearance of linear fissuring and ulceration of the oedematous mucosa of Crohn's disease gives the typical cobblestone appearance.
